1 Samyèl 4-6
Haitian Creole Version
4 ¶ Chak fwa Samyèl te pale tout pèp la te koute l'. Lè sa a, pèp Izrayèl la soti pou y' al goumen ak moun Filisti yo. Konsa, yo moute kan yo bò lavil Ebenezè. Moun Filisti yo menm moute kan pa yo lavil Afèk.
2 Moun Filisti yo pran pozisyon anfas moun Izrayèl yo pou yo goumen. Epi batay la konmanse. Moun Filisti yo bat moun Izrayèl yo byen bat, yo touye katmil (4000) moun konsa nan plenn kote yo t'ap goumen an.
3 Lè sa a, sa ki te chape yo tounen nan kan yo a, tout chèf ki te reskonsab pèp Izrayèl la di: -Poukisa Seyè a kite moun Filisti yo bat nou konsa jòdi a? Ann al pran Bwat Kontra Seyè a ki lavil Silo pou li ka nan mitan nou. Konsa l'a delivre nou anba men lènmi nou yo.
4 Se konsa yo voye kèk moun lavil Silo. Yo pran Bwat Kontra Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, Seyè ki chita sou fotèy li anwo zanj cheriben yo. Yo pote l' vini. Tout de pitit Eli yo, Ofni ak Fineas, te la ansanm ak Bwat Kontra a.
5 Lè Bwat Kontra Seyè a rive nan kan an, tout moun Izrayèl yo bay yon sèl gwo rèl, tè a tranble.
6 Moun Filisti yo tande rèl la, yo di: -Pouki tout gwo rèl sa a nan kan moun Izrayèl yo? Lè yo vin konnen se Bwat Kontra Seyè a ki te rive nan kan an,
7 yo vin pè, yo t'ap di: -Bondye moun sa yo rive nan kan yo a. Nou nan ka, devenn pa nou! Bagay konsa pa janm rive nou anvan sa!
8 Ala devenn pou nou, mezanmi! Ki moun ki ka delivre nou anba men bondye sa yo ki plen pouvwa? Se bondye sa yo ki te voye tout kalite malè sou moun Lejip yo nan dezè a.
9 Se pou nou mete gason sou nou, nou menm moun Filisti, pou nou pa tounen esklav ebre yo menm jan yo te esklav nou an. Se pou n' goumen tankou vanyan gason!
10 ¶ Moun Filisti yo goumen rèd mare, yo bat moun Izrayèl yo ki kouri chape al lakay yo. Se te yon gwo kou pou pèp Izrayèl la. Te gen trantmil (30000) sòlda apye ki te mouri nan lame pèp Izrayèl la.
11 Moun Filisti yo te sezi Bwat Kontra Bondye a epi tou de pitit Eli yo, Ofni ak Fineas, te mouri.
12 ¶ Yon nonm nan branch fanmi Benjamen an te pran kouri depi kote yo t'ap goumen an jouk lavil Silo. Li rive menm jou a. Li te chire rad sou li, li te mete pousyè sou tèt li pou fè wè jan li te nan lapenn.
13 Eli menm te chita sou chèz li a bò wout la ap veye paske kè l' pa t' poze pou Bwat Kontra Bondye a. Nonm lan lage nouvèl la nan tout lavil la. Tout moun t'ap pouse rèl tèlman yo te pè.
14 Eli tande bri a, li mande: -Pouki tout bri sa a? Nonm lan kouri pote nouvèl la bay Eli.
15 Eli te gen katrevendizwitan sou tèt li, li pa t' wè menm nan je l' ankò.
16 Nonm lan di Eli konsa: -Mwen fèk soti kote yo t'ap goumen an, mwen chape kò m' nan batay la vin isit la. Eli di l': -Ki jan sa pase, pitit mwen!
17 Mesaje a reponn, li di l' konsa: -Moun Izrayèl yo kouri pou moun Filisti yo ki touye anpil moun nan pèp la. De pitit gason ou yo, Ofni ak Fineas, mouri. Moun Filisti yo sezi Bwat Kontra Bondye a.
18 Nonmen nonm lan nonmen Bwat Kontra a, Eli sot tonbe sou chèz la, li blayi atè devan pòtay la. Li te fin granmoun epi li te gwo anpil. Nwa kou l' kase sèk, li mouri. Li te pase karantan ap gouvènen pèp Izrayèl la.
19 ¶ Bèlfi Eli a, madanm Fineas, te ansent, li t'ap tann jou pou l' akouche. Lè li tande yo te pran Bwat Kontra Bondye a, epi bòpè l' ansanm ak mari l' te mouri, lamenm tranche pran l', li akouche.
20 Men, medam ki te la avè l' yo wè l'ap mouri, yo di l' konsa: -Pran kouraj, machè! Ou fè yon pitit gason. Men li pa reponn anyen, li pa okipe yo.
21 Li rele ti gason an Ikabòd, epi li di: -Pèp Izrayèl la pèdi lasistans pouvwa Bondye a. Li t'ap di sa akòz Bwat Kontra Bondye yo te sezi a.
22 Li t'ap di: -Wi, avèk Bwat Kontra Bondye yo pran an, pèp Izrayèl la pèdi lasistans pouvwa Bondye a.
5 ¶ Lè moun Filisti yo sezi Bwat Kontra Bondye a bò lavil Ebenezè, yo pote l' ale lavil Asdòd.
2 Yo antre avè l' nan tanp Dagon, bondye pa yo a. Yo mete l' sou kote estati Dagon an.
3 Nan denmen maten byen bonè, lè moun lavil Asdòd yo leve, yo wè estati Dagon an te tonbe fas atè devan Bwat Kontra Bondye a. Yo pran estati Dagon an, yo mete l' kanpe nan plas li ankò.
4 Nan denmen ankò lè yo leve nan maten, yo wè estati Dagon an te tonbe fas atè devan Bwat Kontra Seyè a. Tèt li ak de bra l' yo te kraze, yo te sou papòt tanp lan. Se rès kò a ase ki te rete.
5 Se poutèt sa, jouk koulye a, ni prèt Dagon yo ni moun k'ap antre nan tanp Dagon an lavil Asdòd, lè yo rive devan pòtay la, yo sote papòt la, yo pa janm pile li.
6 ¶ Seyè a t'ap manyen ak pèp lavil Asdòd la, li te mete yo vant ba. Li fè yon bann gwo bouton soti sou yo ak sou moun ki t'ap viv nan vwazinaj lavil la.
7 Lè moun lavil Asdòd yo wè sa ki te rive yo a, yo di: -Pa kite Bwat Kontra Bondye pèp Izrayèl la nan mitan nou ankò! Se pa ti kras kale l'ap kale Dagon, zidòl nou an, ansanm ak nou.
8 Se konsa yo voye chache senk chèf moun Filisti yo, epi yo di yo: -Kisa pou nou fè ak Bwat Kontra Bondye pèp Izrayèl la? Chèf yo reponn: -Pote l' ale lavil Gat. Se konsa yo pote Bwat Kontra Bondye pèp Izrayèl la lavil Gat.
9 Men, lè Bwat Kontra a rive la, Seyè a manyen ak moun lavil la. Li fè yon sèl kouri pete nan lavil la. Bondye pini yo, li voye yon kalite gwo bouton ki leve sou tout kò moun lavil la, timoun kou granmoun.
10 Se konsa yo voye Bwat Kontra a lavil Ekwon. Rive li rive la, moun yo pran rele: -Men yo pote Bwat Kontra Bondye pèp Izrayèl la lakay nou. Se touye yo vle touye tout moun isit la!
11 Yo fè chache senk chèf moun Filisti yo. Yo di yo: -Voye Bwat Kontra Bondye pèp Izrayèl la tounen nan plas li, pou li pa touye tout moun isit yo. Tout lavil la te tèt anba, moun t'ap mouri paske Seyè a t'ap manyen rèd ak yo.
12 Sa ki pa t' mouri yo te gen tout kò yo kouvri ak bouton. Tout moun t'ap rele mande bondye pa yo sekou.
6 ¶ Bwat Kontra Seyè a te gen tan pase sèt mwa nan peyi Filisti a.
2 Moun Filisti yo fè rele prèt yo ak divinò yo. Yo mande yo: -Kisa pou n' fè ak Bwat Kontra Seyè a? Ki jan pou n' fè pou n' voye l' tounen nan plas li?
3 Yo reponn: -Si n'ap voye Bwat Kontra Bondye pèp Izrayèl la tounen, nou pa ka voye l' konsa san anyen. Se pou nou voye kichòy ki va sèvi pou peye pou sa nou fè a. Si nou fè l' konsa, nou tout n'a geri, epi n'a konnen poukisa li t'ap plede frape nou konsa.
4 Pèp la mande yo: -Ki kalite bagay pou nou bay ki va sèvi pou peye pou sa nou fè a? Yo di yo: -Senk bouton lò ak senk sourit an lò, yonn pou chak chèf moun Filisti yo, paske se menm maladi a ki te tonbe ni sou nou ni sou senk chèf nou yo.
5 N'a fè bouton lò yo pou yo sanble ak bouton ki te leve sou nou yo. Konsa tou, n'a fè senk sourit an lò pòtre ak sourit k'ap plede ravaje peyi a. Epi n'a rekonèt Bondye pèp Izrayèl la se yon Bondye ki gen pouvwa. Lè sa a, nou kwè l'a sispann frape nou, nou menm, bondye nou yo ak peyi nou an.
6 Poukisa pou n'ap fè tèt di tankou farawon an ak moun peyi Lejip yo? Eske lè Bondye te konmanse manyen ak yo, yo pa t' kite moun yo al fè wout yo?
7 Nou pral pare yon kabwa tou nèf ak de manman bèf ki gen pitit dèyè yo epi ki pa janm sèvi pou fè ankenn travay anvan sa. N'a mare yo nan kabwa a, men n'a fè ti bèf dèyè manman yo tounen lakay.
8 N'a pran Bwat Kontra Seyè a, n'a mete l' sou kabwa a. N'a pran sa n'ap bay pou sèvi pou peye pou sa nou fè a, n'a mete yo nan yon ti bwat sou kote l'. N'a mete kabwa a sou wout la, n'a kite l' ale pou kont li.
9 N'a rete ap gade l' ale. Si nou wè l' pran chemen moute lavil Bèt-Chemèch, n'a konnen se Bondye pèp Izrayèl la ki te voye tout malè sa yo sou nou. Men si li pran yon lòt wout, lè sa a n'a konnen malè sa yo pa t' soti nan li. Se te devenn pa nou.
10 ¶ Moun yo fè sa yo te di yo fè a. Yo pran de manman bèf ki te gen pitit dèyè yo, yo mare yo nan kabwa a, men yo kenbe ti bèf ki te dèyè manman yo lakay.
11 Yo mete Bwat Kontra a sou kabwa a ansanm ak ti bwat ki te gen ti sourit an lò yo ak pòtre bouton yo.
12 Bèf yo pran wout lavil Bèt-Chemèch dirèk dirèk. Y' al tou dwat devan yo. Sou tout wout la bèf yo t'ap rele. Senk chèf moun Filisti yo t'ap mache dèyè yo jouk yo rive sou baliz lavil Bèt-Chemèch.
13 Moun lavil Bèt-Chemèch yo t'ap ranmase ble nan plenn lan. Lè yo leve je yo, yo wè Bwat Kontra a, yo pran rele sitèlman yo te kontan.
14 Kabwa a rive nan jaden Jozye a nan peyi Bèt-Chemèch epi li rete. Te gen yon gwo wòch bò la. Moun yo demoute kabwa a, yo fann tout bwa yo, yo touye bèf yo, epi yo boule yo nèt pou Seyè a.
15 Apre sa, moun Levi yo desann Bwat Kontra Seyè a ansanm ak ti bwat ki te gen bagay an lò yo. Yo mete yo sou gwo wòch la. Jou sa a, moun lavil Bèt-Chemèch yo ofri lòt bèt tou pou boule nèt nan dife ansanm ak lòt ofrann pou Seyè a.
16 Lè senk chèf moun Filisti yo wè sa, yo tounen lavil Ekwon menm jou a.
17 Moun Filisti yo te voye senk bouton lò bay Seyè a pou sa te sèvi pou peye pou sa yo te fè a: yonn pou Asdòd, yonn pou Gaza, yonn pou Achkalon, yonn pou Gat, yonn pou Ekwon.
18 Yo te voye senk ti sourit fèt an lò tou, yonn pou chak lavil kote chèf moun Filisti yo t'ap kòmande, kit se lavil ki gen ranpa, kit se lavil ki pa gen ranpa. Gwo wòch kote yo te mete Bwat Kontra Seyè a nan mitan jaden Jozye a, bò lavil Bèt-Chemèch la, kanpe la jouk koulye a, tankou yon mak pou fè chonje sak te rive lè sa a.
19 ¶ Apre sa, Seyè a te touye kèk moun nan moun lavil Bèt-Chemèch yo paske yo t' al voye je yo wè sa ki anndan Bwat Kontra a. Li touye swasanndis ladan yo. Pèp la te nan gwo lapenn, paske Seyè a te fè gwo malè sa a sou yo.
20 Lè sa a, moun lavil Bèt-Chemèch yo di: -Ki moun ki ka kanpe devan Seyè a, Bondye sa a ki yon Bondye apa? Ki bò pou n' voye Bwat Kontra a ale pou l' pa rete lakay nou?
21 Yo pran kèk mesaje, yo voye yo ale bò kote moun lavil Kiriyat-Jearim, yo di yo konsa: -Moun Filisti yo voye Bwat Kontra Seyè a tounen. Vin pran l' mennen lakay nou.
1 Samuel 4-6
New International Version
1 Samuel 4-6
New International Version
4 And Samuel’s word came to all Israel.
The Philistines Capture the Ark
Now the Israelites went out to fight against the Philistines. The Israelites camped at Ebenezer,(A) and the Philistines at Aphek.(B) 2 The Philistines deployed their forces to meet Israel, and as the battle spread, Israel was defeated by the Philistines, who killed about four thousand of them on the battlefield. 3 When the soldiers returned to camp, the elders of Israel asked, “Why(C) did the Lord bring defeat on us today before the Philistines? Let us bring the ark(D) of the Lord’s covenant from Shiloh,(E) so that he may go with us(F) and save us from the hand of our enemies.”
4 So the people sent men to Shiloh, and they brought back the ark of the covenant of the Lord Almighty, who is enthroned between the cherubim.(G) And Eli’s two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God.
5 When the ark of the Lord’s covenant came into the camp, all Israel raised such a great shout(H) that the ground shook. 6 Hearing the uproar, the Philistines asked, “What’s all this shouting in the Hebrew(I) camp?”
When they learned that the ark of the Lord had come into the camp, 7 the Philistines were afraid.(J) “A god has[a] come into the camp,” they said. “Oh no! Nothing like this has happened before. 8 We’re doomed! Who will deliver us from the hand of these mighty gods? They are the gods who struck(K) the Egyptians with all kinds of plagues(L) in the wilderness. 9 Be strong, Philistines! Be men, or you will be subject to the Hebrews, as they(M) have been to you. Be men, and fight!”
10 So the Philistines fought, and the Israelites were defeated(N) and every man fled to his tent. The slaughter was very great; Israel lost thirty thousand foot soldiers. 11 The ark of God was captured, and Eli’s two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, died.(O)
Death of Eli
12 That same day a Benjamite(P) ran from the battle line and went to Shiloh with his clothes torn and dust(Q) on his head. 13 When he arrived, there was Eli(R) sitting on his chair by the side of the road, watching, because his heart feared for the ark of God. When the man entered the town and told what had happened, the whole town sent up a cry.
14 Eli heard the outcry and asked, “What is the meaning of this uproar?”
The man hurried over to Eli, 15 who was ninety-eight years old and whose eyes(S) had failed so that he could not see. 16 He told Eli, “I have just come from the battle line; I fled from it this very day.”
Eli asked, “What happened, my son?”
17 The man who brought the news replied, “Israel fled before the Philistines, and the army has suffered heavy losses. Also your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead,(T) and the ark of God has been captured.”(U)
18 When he mentioned the ark of God, Eli fell backward off his chair by the side of the gate. His neck was broken and he died, for he was an old man, and he was heavy. He had led[b](V) Israel forty years.(W)
19 His daughter-in-law, the wife of Phinehas, was pregnant and near the time of delivery. When she heard the news that the ark of God had been captured and that her father-in-law and her husband were dead, she went into labor and gave birth, but was overcome by her labor pains. 20 As she was dying, the women attending her said, “Don’t despair; you have given birth to a son.” But she did not respond or pay any attention.
21 She named the boy Ichabod,[c](X) saying, “The Glory(Y) has departed from Israel”—because of the capture of the ark of God and the deaths of her father-in-law and her husband. 22 She said, “The Glory(Z) has departed from Israel, for the ark of God has been captured.”(AA)
The Ark in Ashdod and Ekron
5 After the Philistines had captured the ark of God, they took it from Ebenezer(AB) to Ashdod.(AC) 2 Then they carried the ark into Dagon’s temple and set it beside Dagon.(AD) 3 When the people of Ashdod rose early the next day, there was Dagon, fallen(AE) on his face on the ground before the ark of the Lord! They took Dagon and put him back in his place. 4 But the following morning when they rose, there was Dagon, fallen on his face on the ground before the ark of the Lord! His head and hands had been broken(AF) off and were lying on the threshold; only his body remained. 5 That is why to this day neither the priests of Dagon nor any others who enter Dagon’s temple at Ashdod step on the threshold.(AG)
6 The Lord’s hand(AH) was heavy on the people of Ashdod and its vicinity; he brought devastation(AI) on them and afflicted them with tumors.[d](AJ) 7 When the people of Ashdod saw what was happening, they said, “The ark of the god of Israel must not stay here with us, because his hand is heavy on us and on Dagon our god.” 8 So they called together all the rulers(AK) of the Philistines and asked them, “What shall we do with the ark of the god of Israel?”
They answered, “Have the ark of the god of Israel moved to Gath.(AL)” So they moved the ark of the God of Israel.
9 But after they had moved it, the Lord’s hand was against that city, throwing it into a great panic.(AM) He afflicted the people of the city, both young and old, with an outbreak of tumors.[e] 10 So they sent the ark of God to Ekron.(AN)
As the ark of God was entering Ekron, the people of Ekron cried out, “They have brought the ark of the god of Israel around to us to kill us and our people.” 11 So they called together all the rulers(AO) of the Philistines and said, “Send the ark of the god of Israel away; let it go back to its own place, or it[f] will kill us and our people.” For death had filled the city with panic; God’s hand was very heavy on it. 12 Those who did not die(AP) were afflicted with tumors, and the outcry of the city went up to heaven.
The Ark Returned to Israel
6 When the ark of the Lord had been in Philistine territory seven months, 2 the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners(AQ) and said, “What shall we do with the ark of the Lord? Tell us how we should send it back to its place.”
3 They answered, “If you return the ark of the god of Israel, do not send it back to him without a gift;(AR) by all means send a guilt offering(AS) to him. Then you will be healed, and you will know why his hand(AT) has not been lifted from you.”
4 The Philistines asked, “What guilt offering should we send to him?”
They replied, “Five gold tumors and five gold rats, according to the number(AU) of the Philistine rulers, because the same plague(AV) has struck both you and your rulers. 5 Make models of the tumors(AW) and of the rats that are destroying the country, and give glory(AX) to Israel’s god. Perhaps he will lift his hand from you and your gods and your land. 6 Why do you harden(AY) your hearts as the Egyptians and Pharaoh did? When Israel’s god dealt harshly with them,(AZ) did they(BA) not send the Israelites out so they could go on their way?
7 “Now then, get a new cart(BB) ready, with two cows that have calved and have never been yoked.(BC) Hitch the cows to the cart, but take their calves away and pen them up. 8 Take the ark of the Lord and put it on the cart, and in a chest beside it put the gold objects you are sending back to him as a guilt offering. Send it on its way, 9 but keep watching it. If it goes up to its own territory, toward Beth Shemesh,(BD) then the Lord has brought this great disaster on us. But if it does not, then we will know that it was not his hand that struck us but that it happened to us by chance.”
10 So they did this. They took two such cows and hitched them to the cart and penned up their calves. 11 They placed the ark of the Lord on the cart and along with it the chest containing the gold rats and the models of the tumors. 12 Then the cows went straight up toward Beth Shemesh, keeping on the road and lowing all the way; they did not turn to the right or to the left. The rulers of the Philistines followed them as far as the border of Beth Shemesh.
13 Now the people of Beth Shemesh were harvesting their wheat(BE) in the valley, and when they looked up and saw the ark, they rejoiced at the sight. 14 The cart came to the field of Joshua of Beth Shemesh, and there it stopped beside a large rock. The people chopped up the wood of the cart and sacrificed the cows as a burnt offering(BF) to the Lord. 15 The Levites(BG) took down the ark of the Lord, together with the chest containing the gold objects, and placed them on the large rock.(BH) On that day the people of Beth Shemesh(BI) offered burnt offerings and made sacrifices to the Lord. 16 The five rulers of the Philistines saw all this and then returned that same day to Ekron.
17 These are the gold tumors the Philistines sent as a guilt offering to the Lord—one each(BJ) for Ashdod, Gaza, Ashkelon, Gath and Ekron. 18 And the number of the gold rats was according to the number of Philistine towns belonging to the five rulers—the fortified towns with their country villages. The large rock on which the Levites set the ark of the Lord is a witness to this day in the field of Joshua of Beth Shemesh.
19 But God struck down(BK) some of the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh, putting seventy[g] of them to death because they looked(BL) into the ark of the Lord. The people mourned because of the heavy blow the Lord had dealt them. 20 And the people of Beth Shemesh asked, “Who can stand(BM) in the presence of the Lord, this holy(BN) God? To whom will the ark go up from here?”
21 Then they sent messengers to the people of Kiriath Jearim,(BO) saying, “The Philistines have returned the ark of the Lord. Come down and take it up to your town.”

1 Samuel 4-6
King James Version
4 And the word of Samuel came to all Israel. Now Israel went out against the Philistines to battle, and pitched beside Ebenezer: and the Philistines pitched in Aphek.
2 And the Philistines put themselves in array against Israel: and when they joined battle, Israel was smitten before the Philistines: and they slew of the army in the field about four thousand men.
3 And when the people were come into the camp, the elders of Israel said, Wherefore hath the Lord smitten us to day before the Philistines? Let us fetch the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of Shiloh unto us, that, when it cometh among us, it may save us out of the hand of our enemies.
4 So the people sent to Shiloh, that they might bring from thence the ark of the covenant of the Lord of hosts, which dwelleth between the cherubims: and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God.
5 And when the ark of the covenant of the Lord came into the camp, all Israel shouted with a great shout, so that the earth rang again.
6 And when the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, they said, What meaneth the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews? And they understood that the ark of the Lord was come into the camp.
7 And the Philistines were afraid, for they said, God is come into the camp. And they said, Woe unto us! for there hath not been such a thing heretofore.
8 Woe unto us! who shall deliver us out of the hand of these mighty Gods? these are the Gods that smote the Egyptians with all the plagues in the wilderness.
9 Be strong and quit yourselves like men, O ye Philistines, that ye be not servants unto the Hebrews, as they have been to you: quit yourselves like men, and fight.
10 And the Philistines fought, and Israel was smitten, and they fled every man into his tent: and there was a very great slaughter; for there fell of Israel thirty thousand footmen.
11 And the ark of God was taken; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were slain.
12 And there ran a man of Benjamin out of the army, and came to Shiloh the same day with his clothes rent, and with earth upon his head.
13 And when he came, lo, Eli sat upon a seat by the wayside watching: for his heart trembled for the ark of God. And when the man came into the city, and told it, all the city cried out.
14 And when Eli heard the noise of the crying, he said, What meaneth the noise of this tumult? And the man came in hastily, and told Eli.
15 Now Eli was ninety and eight years old; and his eyes were dim, that he could not see.
16 And the man said unto Eli, I am he that came out of the army, and I fled to day out of the army. And he said, What is there done, my son?
17 And the messenger answered and said, Israel is fled before the Philistines, and there hath been also a great slaughter among the people, and thy two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God is taken.
18 And it came to pass, when he made mention of the ark of God, that he fell from off the seat backward by the side of the gate, and his neck brake, and he died: for he was an old man, and heavy. And he had judged Israel forty years.
19 And his daughter in law, Phinehas' wife, was with child, near to be delivered: and when she heard the tidings that the ark of God was taken, and that her father in law and her husband were dead, she bowed herself and travailed; for her pains came upon her.
20 And about the time of her death the women that stood by her said unto her, Fear not; for thou hast born a son. But she answered not, neither did she regard it.
21 And she named the child Ichabod, saying, The glory is departed from Israel: because the ark of God was taken, and because of her father in law and her husband.
22 And she said, The glory is departed from Israel: for the ark of God is taken.
5 And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it from Ebenezer unto Ashdod.
2 When the Philistines took the ark of God, they brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon.
3 And when they of Ashdod arose early on the morrow, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the earth before the ark of the Lord. And they took Dagon, and set him in his place again.
4 And when they arose early on the morrow morning, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the ground before the ark of the Lord; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands were cut off upon the threshold; only the stump of Dagon was left to him.
5 Therefore neither the priests of Dagon, nor any that come into Dagon's house, tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod unto this day.
6 But the hand of the Lord was heavy upon them of Ashdod, and he destroyed them, and smote them with emerods, even Ashdod and the coasts thereof.
7 And when the men of Ashdod saw that it was so, they said, The ark of the God of Israel shall not abide with us: for his hand is sore upon us, and upon Dagon our god.
8 They sent therefore and gathered all the lords of the Philistines unto them, and said, What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel? And they answered, Let the ark of the God of Israel be carried about unto Gath. And they carried the ark of the God of Israel about thither.
9 And it was so, that, after they had carried it about, the hand of the Lord was against the city with a very great destruction: and he smote the men of the city, both small and great, and they had emerods in their secret parts.
10 Therefore they sent the ark of God to Ekron. And it came to pass, as the ark of God came to Ekron, that the Ekronites cried out, saying, They have brought about the ark of the God of Israel to us, to slay us and our people.
11 So they sent and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines, and said, Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it go again to his own place, that it slay us not, and our people: for there was a deadly destruction throughout all the city; the hand of God was very heavy there.
12 And the men that died not were smitten with the emerods: and the cry of the city went up to heaven.
6 And the ark of the Lord was in the country of the Philistines seven months.
2 And the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying, What shall we do to the ark of the Lord? tell us wherewith we shall send it to his place.
3 And they said, If ye send away the ark of the God of Israel, send it not empty; but in any wise return him a trespass offering: then ye shall be healed, and it shall be known to you why his hand is not removed from you.
4 Then said they, What shall be the trespass offering which we shall return to him? They answered, Five golden emerods, and five golden mice, according to the number of the lords of the Philistines: for one plague was on you all, and on your lords.
5 Wherefore ye shall make images of your emerods, and images of your mice that mar the land; and ye shall give glory unto the God of Israel: peradventure he will lighten his hand from off you, and from off your gods, and from off your land.
6 Wherefore then do ye harden your hearts, as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their hearts? when he had wrought wonderfully among them, did they not let the people go, and they departed?
7 Now therefore make a new cart, and take two milch kine, on which there hath come no yoke, and tie the kine to the cart, and bring their calves home from them:
8 And take the ark of the Lord, and lay it upon the cart; and put the jewels of gold, which ye return him for a trespass offering, in a coffer by the side thereof; and send it away, that it may go.
9 And see, if it goeth up by the way of his own coast to Bethshemesh, then he hath done us this great evil: but if not, then we shall know that it is not his hand that smote us: it was a chance that happened to us.
10 And the men did so; and took two milch kine, and tied them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home:
11 And they laid the ark of the Lord upon the cart, and the coffer with the mice of gold and the images of their emerods.
12 And the kine took the straight way to the way of Bethshemesh, and went along the highway, lowing as they went, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left; and the lords of the Philistines went after them unto the border of Bethshemesh.
13 And they of Bethshemesh were reaping their wheat harvest in the valley: and they lifted up their eyes, and saw the ark, and rejoiced to see it.
14 And the cart came into the field of Joshua, a Bethshemite, and stood there, where there was a great stone: and they clave the wood of the cart, and offered the kine a burnt offering unto the Lord.
15 And the Levites took down the ark of the Lord, and the coffer that was with it, wherein the jewels of gold were, and put them on the great stone: and the men of Bethshemesh offered burnt offerings and sacrificed sacrifices the same day unto the Lord.
16 And when the five lords of the Philistines had seen it, they returned to Ekron the same day.
17 And these are the golden emerods which the Philistines returned for a trespass offering unto the Lord; for Ashdod one, for Gaza one, for Askelon one, for Gath one, for Ekron one;
18 And the golden mice, according to the number of all the cities of the Philistines belonging to the five lords, both of fenced cities, and of country villages, even unto the great stone of Abel, whereon they set down the ark of the Lord: which stone remaineth unto this day in the field of Joshua, the Bethshemite.
19 And he smote the men of Bethshemesh, because they had looked into the ark of the Lord, even he smote of the people fifty thousand and threescore and ten men: and the people lamented, because the Lord had smitten many of the people with a great slaughter.
20 And the men of Bethshemesh said, Who is able to stand before this holy Lord God? and to whom shall he go up from us?
21 And they sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kirjathjearim, saying, The Philistines have brought again the ark of the Lord; come ye down, and fetch it up to you.

9 ¶ Jezi sanble douz disip li yo, li ba yo pouvwa ak otorite pou chase tout move lespri, pou geri tout maladi.
2 Apre sa, li voye yo mache fè konnen gouvènman Bondye Wa a, li voye yo geri malad yo tou.
3 Li di yo: Pa pran anyen pou vwayaj la: ni baton, ni sak, ni pen, ni lajan, pa menm yon rad derechanj.
4 Rete nan yon sèl kay, kay kote y'a resevwa nou an, jouk nou pati kite peyi a.
5 Tout kote moun pa vle resevwa nou, kite lavil sa a, souke pousyè pye nou; konsa yo p'ap ka di nou pa t' avèti yo.
6 Disip yo pati, yo mache ale nan tout bouk, yo t'ap anonse bon nouvèl la, yo t'ap geri moun malad toupatou.
7 Lè sa a, Ewòd t'ap gouvènen nan peyi Galile a. Li te pran nouvèl tou sak t'ap pase. Men, li pa t' konnen sa pou l' te kwè. Gen moun ki t'ap di: Se Jan Batis ki leve pami mò yo.
8 Gen lòt ki t'ap di: Se Eli ki parèt. Gen lòt ki t'ap di ankò: Se yonn nan ansyen pwofèt yo ki leve pami mò yo.
9 Men Ewòd t'ap di: Mwen te fè koupe tèt Jan. Men, nonm mwen tande y'ap nonmen non l' anpil la, kilès li ye menm? Li t'ap chache wè Jezi.
10 ¶ Lè apòt yo tounen, yo rakonte Jezi tou sa yo te fè. Li pran yo avèk li, yo pati ansanm pou kont yo pou lavil Betsayda.
11 Men, lè foul moun yo vin konn sa, yo pati dèyè li. Jezi resevwa yo, li pale yo sou peyi kote Bondye Wa a, li geri tout moun ki te malad.
12 Lè solèy kòmanse kouche, douz disip yo pwoche bò kot Jezi, yo di li: Voye moun yo ale pou yo ka achte manje, pou yo jwenn kote pou yo dòmi nan bouk yo ak nan vwazinaj la; paske isit la nou nan mitan yon dezè.
13 Jezi di yo: Poukisa nou pa ba yo manje pito! Men, yo reponn: Nou gen senk pen ak de pwason sèlman. Ou ta vle pou n' al achte manje pou n' bay tout pèp sa a?
14 (Te gen senkmil (5.000) gason konsa.) Jezi di disip li yo: Fè yo chita pa ranje senkant konsa.
15 Disip yo koute l', yo fè tout moun chita.
16 Jezi pran senk pen ak de pwason yo, li leve je l' nan syèl la, li di Bondye mèsi pou manje a. Apre sa, li separe l', li renmèt li bay disip yo pou mache bay foul moun yo.
17 Tout moun manje vant plen. Lèfini, disip yo ranmase douz panyen plen moso ki te rete.

Jesus Sends Out the Twelve(A)(B)
9 When Jesus had called the Twelve together, he gave them power and authority to drive out all demons(C) and to cure diseases,(D) 2 and he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God(E) and to heal the sick. 3 He told them: “Take nothing for the journey—no staff, no bag, no bread, no money, no extra shirt.(F) 4 Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave that town. 5 If people do not welcome you, leave their town and shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them.”(G) 6 So they set out and went from village to village, proclaiming the good news and healing people everywhere.
7 Now Herod(H) the tetrarch heard about all that was going on. And he was perplexed because some were saying that John(I) had been raised from the dead,(J) 8 others that Elijah had appeared,(K) and still others that one of the prophets of long ago had come back to life.(L) 9 But Herod said, “I beheaded John. Who, then, is this I hear such things about?” And he tried to see him.(M)
Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand(N)(O)
10 When the apostles(P) returned, they reported to Jesus what they had done. Then he took them with him and they withdrew by themselves to a town called Bethsaida,(Q) 11 but the crowds learned about it and followed him. He welcomed them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God,(R) and healed those who needed healing.
12 Late in the afternoon the Twelve came to him and said, “Send the crowd away so they can go to the surrounding villages and countryside and find food and lodging, because we are in a remote place here.”
13 He replied, “You give them something to eat.”
They answered, “We have only five loaves of bread and two fish—unless we go and buy food for all this crowd.” 14 (About five thousand men were there.)
But he said to his disciples, “Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each.” 15 The disciples did so, and everyone sat down. 16 Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke them.(S) Then he gave them to the disciples to distribute to the people. 17 They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.

Luke 9:1-17
King James Version
9 Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.
2 And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.
3 And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece.
4 And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and thence depart.
5 And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them.
6 And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where.
7 Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him: and he was perplexed, because that it was said of some, that John was risen from the dead;
8 And of some, that Elias had appeared; and of others, that one of the old prophets was risen again.
9 And Herod said, John have I beheaded: but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he desired to see him.
10 And the apostles, when they were returned, told him all that they had done. And he took them, and went aside privately into a desert place belonging to the city called Bethsaida.
11 And the people, when they knew it, followed him: and he received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of God, and healed them that had need of healing.
12 And when the day began to wear away, then came the twelve, and said unto him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the towns and country round about, and lodge, and get victuals: for we are here in a desert place.
13 But he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have no more but five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy meat for all this people.
14 For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down by fifties in a company.
15 And they did so, and made them all sit down.
16 Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and brake, and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude.
17 And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was taken up of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets.
